Christian Bale Cast in Terrence Malick Film

Terrence Malick’s next film is on the horizon and he plans on filling it with a talented and epic cast. The director has wrangled together a unique group of actors to star in an untitled romantic drama that will have Christian Bale leading the way. According to Deadline Hollywood, Malick will direct the film from a script he also wrote.

Who will join Batman in this ensemble feature? A Mean girl, a Bond girl, and a guy known for having a temper and a bad hair cut. Rachel McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, and Javier Bardem are all set to star in the film, which will begin production this fall. It will be produced by Nicolas Gonda, Sarah Green and Bill Pohlad and distributed internationally by FilmNation Entertainment.

FilmNation CEO Glen Basner added: “Terry is easily among the greatest and most influential filmmakers of our time. It’s an honour to work with such a visionary. FilmNation is thrilled to help bring his next work to a global audience.”

Malick is one of the most reclusive directors in Hollywood, and has only directed a handful of of films including Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, and The New World. Is anyone else interested in seeing Kurylenko play something other than the object of someone’s desire? She’ll probably still portray that in this film, but hopefully with better dialogue.
